Episode 175. Distrust and Proof
The path to Mujinjuga’s secret underground facility.

“Honestly, I was thinking that you might be a Gaia collaborator.”

“Why are you saying such sad things?”

I continued talking with Joo Chang-ik.

“Well, I understand. I was pretending to be friendly towards them because I haven’t developed enough strength yet.”

“Was that so?”

“Yes. If we had been so reckless and openly hostile to those religious figures, our revenge would not have been successful.”

“I understand.”

“And I had no idea that Mujinjuga was gathering hostile forces against the Gaia Cult.”

“Actually… the reason I created my family was partly because of my resentment towards those guys.”

Surprisingly, it has been quite a while since Joo Chang-ik started to be hostile towards the religious community.

‘At the shortest, about 20 years.’

and.

As the period was long, the lineup of forces that Joo Chang-ik gathered was splendid.

“For over 20 years, I have been gathering comrades in the dark to help me destroy the religious order.”

Just from what he had told me, it included not only Mujinju, but also the 8-star spirit master Choi Eun-tak, and the top guilds Black Dragon, White Tiger, and Bear Devil.

“Wow, that’s amazing. It’s more incredible than I thought.”

“There’s more. I’ll tell you the rest later.”

And that wasn’t the end of it.

It’s just that he hasn’t given me all the cards yet.

“Still, aren’t you amazing? An alliance with the Magic Tower?”

“no.”

“That’s not true. Isn’t the Magic Tower one of the few groups in the world? They’re tied to the four major powers, such as the Gaia Cult.”

Fortunately for me, my alliance wasn’t that far behind his.

‘If I had not been careful, I might have lost the initiative.’

I shared the same goal as Joo Chang-ik, and we planned to join forces to bring down the Gaia Church.

But how much initiative is taken within that is another question.

If the forces I have gathered are insufficient compared to the forces he has gathered, then the picture will inevitably become one where I go under him.

but.

‘Only the Golden Group and Blacksmith on the rooftop…’

Even though I only revealed a portion of the forces I had gathered, I was able to stand on equal footing with him.

“I was lucky.”

After saying those humble words.

“More than that, I had a feeling it might happen, but I didn’t think it would really happen.”

I asked a question about something I was curious about.

“What are you talking about?”

“I was wondering how many people knew the truth behind the Gaia Cult.”

Gaia Church.

The world’s greatest religion and single power.

Additionally, they were a group whose image management was close to perfection.

‘That’s why I was confused at first too.’

Even I was like that.

Even after my parents died at the hands of those bastards, I wondered if I had misjudged something.

Actually, maybe my parents did something bad.

I was even thinking about doing that.

Given that they were such a religious group, it seemed difficult to find comrades to help them take them down.

“Well, I guess those who know will know.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. If you build up some power or raise your own level, the religious bastards will reach out and attack you.”

“…ah.”

The story I heard from Joo Chang-ik was interesting.

Those who have reached a certain level.

So, the religious order has been actively reaching out to those who could be of help to them if they were to embrace them.

Of course, because the process was not very gentlemanly, there are many who have ill feelings toward the church.

but.

“Even so, it wouldn’t have been easy to find… .”

There must have been some who wanted to join hands with the religious order from the beginning, and they have the sacred magic of “Judgment”.

If there is a difference, you can force them to submit and brainwash them.

Those who filter out all of these conditions and still have ill feelings toward the church and have the courage to take hostile actions against it.

It couldn’t have been easy to gather such people.

“… I see you know their ways.”

“Judge, you are speaking, right?”

“Yeah. What kind of crazy skills are those…?”

We shook our heads and shared our difficult pasts.

Certainly, the Gaia Cult was a powerful enemy.

As of now, it is difficult to even find colleagues to work with.

In that sense.

‘It was a great achievement to get Joo Chang-ik.’

The gamble a little while ago brought me a very big return.

Why have I been wasting time pretending to be friendly with the Gaia Church until now?

Wasn’t it because we didn’t have enough strength to deal with them!

But now.

‘… it might be worth a try.’

A picture was slowly forming of a situation where I could have a go at the religious cult guys.

Joo Chang-ik’s joining meant that a great deal of power was added.

“Oh! By the way, does Hunter Ju Eun-seol also know these facts?”

Suddenly, I thought of Joo Eun-seol.

I didn’t even realize that I had found a comrade.

Joo Chang-ik did not bring her to the secret underground facility of Mujinju, where we are heading now.

He shook his head.

“Eunseol doesn’t know these things.”

“ah….”

“If he had stayed in the family, I might have found out. But since he ran away from the family, claiming to be self-made, it wasn’t easy to tell.”

Unfortunately, Ju Eun-seol did not know that we were enemies of the Gaia Church.

But from my perspective, it wasn’t that important.

‘It would have been better if I had sided with Joo Chang-ik anyway.’

In the first place, Joo Eun-seol was a stepping stone to Joo Chang-ik.

If I can build the same relationship with Joo Chang-ik as I do now, Joo Eun-seol alone won’t have much of an impact.

“Well… Personally, I have two feelings. I don’t want Eunseol to know about this, and I want her to know.”

“… I guess so.”

I hope my daughter doesn’t get involved in anything dangerous.

And I want to involve you in family affairs.

Both of those feelings were plausible.

and.

“This is it.”

We soon arrived at Mujinjuga’s secret underground facility.

Kkeuggeukgeuk-

A huge facility is revealed as you pass through a small but very sturdy-looking iron gate.

“This is….”

“What do you think? This is an environment that has been cultivated for 20 years. It must have been difficult to keep it from being revealed to the outside world.”

This place could literally be considered a small city.

There were dozens of floors just looking down. The area of ​​each floor was also not negligible.

There.

“You have arrived, my lord!”

“Is the research going well?”

“Yes! I think we’ll be able to use the magic stone to strengthen the Hunter’s body soon.”

“Good.”

Research that could shake up the existing hunter industry is underway.

In the basement of Mujinju, there were things beyond imagination sleeping.

At that moment, the researcher looked at me and asked a question.

“Oh, I haven’t seen you before. Who are you…?”

“A new ally. I brought him here because I thought he would be a great help to the cause.”

“Ah…! Nice to meet you! My name is Park Jeong-Seok, researcher at Ma Jeong-Seok!”

“Researcher Park Jeong-seok!? The one who went missing…?”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * Baca Novel Korean * *
* * * Noblemtl dot com * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“Yes, that’s right.”

He answered with a cool smile.

Surprisingly, this researcher was a famous person.

Because he was a key figure managed by the state and was famous all over the world.

I heard you went missing, and I thought you were sharpening your sword against those Gaia guys here.

He greeted me with his tongue sticking out.

“My name is Kim Yu-jin.”

I thought at the same time.

‘I guess I should get my name back soon.’

The reason why I have been using the pseudonym Kim Yu-jin instead of my real name Do Yu-jin.

Because I don’t yet have the strength to survive and take revenge on those who would oppose me if my identity was revealed.

But now I’m starting to think that it really will be soon.

therefore.

‘The day I draw my sword against the religious bastards, I will regain my name.’

Now, I felt like there was no need to use the name ‘Kim Yu-jin’.

‘good.’

Anyway, after Mujinju figured out that the size of the secret underground facility was considerable.

“Here…?”

“You could think of it as a kind of prison.”

I was guided to one place by Joo Chang-ik.

“Actually, this is why I decided to show you this place.”

“Is anyone who is a pain in the neck locked up?”

“That’s correct.”

“Who the hell are you…?”

Although he expressed his doubts, Joo Chang-ik did not answer.

instead.

Ssuk-

I manipulated the panel to open the door to the nearest prison.

“Come in and take a look.”

“…?”

First, I followed him into the prison without any hesitation.

There.

“Eww! Eww!”

There was someone struggling with his mouth gagged and his whole body tied up.

As soon as he saw me, his eyes widened and he started moving his body more violently.

With an expression as if he had found a savior.

At that moment, Joo Chang-ik took the gag out of his mouth.

“Ugh… Phew!”

A prisoner whose mouth was free for a moment.

He… no, that guy.

He shouted at me with all his might.

“Oh, Apostle Kim Yu-jin!!! You came to save me!!!!!”

“… An Su-hwan?”

Surprisingly, it was Ahn Soo-hwan.

A first-class priest of the Gaia Church.

and.

“I see. So, what should I do with the interest?”

Joo Chang-ik asked me a question.

“Ah, no… this non-believer! What are you saying to Apostle Kim Yu-jin!”

“… … .”

An Su-hwan looks at me with eyes that look like a savior.

Joo Chang-ik asks me seriously.

Me standing between the two.

The situation was quickly grasped.

‘… Damn it. It’s not over yet?’

【Wow, Eugene! This guy is also incredibly distrustful of people!】

‘after.’

This was Joo Chang-ik’s test.

If you had investigated me, you would have definitely found out about my relationship with Ahn Soo-hwan.

‘An Su-hwan and I maintain a pretty good relationship externally.’

That was the problem.

Even if that wasn’t really what I really felt, I felt the need to prove my sincerity since that’s what it looked like.

“Recently, I was able to get some interest by chance. However, I haven’t decided what to do with it.”

Joo Chang-ik added an explanation.

“As you know, An Su-hwan is the third-ranking figure in the Korean branch of the Gaia Church. I would like to ask for your opinion on how to handle this matter.”

Joo Chang-ik asks me how to deal with Ahn Su-hwan.

and.

“What, what are you talking about now… Apostle Kim Yu-jin! You must not be deceived by the words of that non-believer! Save me, save me!!!!”

An Su-hwan hurriedly gave me a desperate look.

In the meantime, he opened his mouth quietly.

“You still don’t believe me.”

“well.”

Of course I understood.

When dealing with the Gaia Church, there is no need to be suspicious and doubtful again.

Even those you believed to be your allies could become enemies at some point due to “Judgment”.

“Hasn’t it been too long for us to trust each other?”

“… That’s true. It’s too early to tell.”

In fact, this was the case for me too.

That’s why I didn’t tell Joo Chang-ik everything about my allies.

“Well, it’s true that I’m really curious about your opinion.”

Unless I have other ulterior motives.

In this situation, there is no need to choose to save Ahn Soo-hwan.

Well, honestly.

‘Its utility has almost run out.’

Because An Su-hwan’s utility was no longer that great.

I said without thinking too much.

“Kill me.”

“Hey, Kim Yu-jin believer!!!! Hey, how could you…!!!!”

“… … .”

Then, An Su-hwan is shocked and Joo Chang-ik remains silent.

“Let’s wait a moment,” Joo Chang-ik said, opening his mouth.

“What a disappointment.”

“Why?”

“What good would it do us to kill him right away? Aren’t you just giving an extreme answer to avoid my suspicions?”

“… … .”

In addition to questioning whether or not they were allies, you also tested their judgment?

‘Wow, you do all sorts of things.’

Well, there was nothing I could do.

If you pass this test, you will gain great power.

and….

“There is no harm in killing them.”

“Why? If the period of time that Lee Ja is missing is long, the religious community will be on much tighter alert.”

Because my judgment was not wrong.

“Let me show you something.”

I decided to reveal one more card that I had to Joo Chang-ik.

That was none other than that.

‘Polymorph’.

That’s right, I can transform into An Su-hwan.

[Load the magic pattern stored in the slot.]

[‘2. Polymorphs into the form of a human, An Su-hwan.’]

Immediately after that.

“… … !”

“Wh, what…!?”

Both people’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to pop out.
